We bought this before our family vacation at the beach. We loved this set. It's good quality. We always play /take different games (corn hole, bocce ball, football). This will definitely be a one that goes with us now. It had been a while since any of us had played horseshoes, however it didnt take long to get very competitive. We even had to bring out the tape measure once. 🤣The case made it easy for transport too. They're heavy / durable so be prepared to build up your muscles. ðŸ'‚

My son, John beats me at everything, and I'm not sure if that pleases me or ticks me off. One of his talents is pitching horseshoes at picnics and family gatherings. I don't know where he learned the sport. He was raised during a time when touch football, volley ball and softball were the preferred sports of family and friends' gatherings. The sad fact is; to this date he has never been beaten.

I say, "To this date" because I am presently in the process of taking the cherished "Family Horseshoe Championship Trophy" away from him this Thanksgiving with the help I received from Amazon.com. The trophy is an authentic, sterling silver Clydesdale horseshoe with "Bud" engraved on the left heel caulk. It has never left his garage.

Earlier this summer I decided his reign was over. I decided to whip his butt. I went to Amazon.com and typed in "horseshoes". That discouraged me at first because the variety and choices seemed numberless, but only for a minute. It soon discovered it was extraordinarily easy to navigate the site, compare the features, the quality and prices of the shoes, and even to enlighten my understanding of how a person like me (old) could play the game and win. The set I chose from St. Pierre American Pro fit the bill. The price was reasonable. The shipping was free and it arrived quickly. The product was of excellent quality with nice tough forged steel shoes that fit my hand, easy-to-understand instructions for pitching "ringers" and hints for novices. I set up a course in my yard as per the enclosed rules and have been practicing for about a month.

During that time, my game went from watching the errant shoes I pitched roll into the neighbor's garden and across the street into a mail box, to the ability to toss all four shoes to within scoring range of the stake. By the time Thanksgiving Day arrives the instructions tell me I will be pitching "ringers" regularly. Because of this information, I sense the Trophy will be mine.

So may I take this opportunity to thank Amazon.com and St. Pierre American Pro's Horse Shoe Set in advance for this my most cherished and first victory over an otherwise very talented son.

Everything was great

When we received the set I was pleasantly surprised how heavy duty it all was. It came in a nice carrying case, although this isn't something we have used since we have our set always put up in the yard. We set it up the stakes by digging down and using concrete to hold them in place. We put the stakes into large ice cream tubs and then buried those down into the ground and them covered it all with dirt. They still tilt when hit several times by the horseshoe, but that seems to be a set up error by us. The shoes themselves are exactly like the description provided on Amazon. This has been a great addition to our backyard and is still in excellent condition after a lot of use. The set is well worth the price. I would definitely purchase again.

Excellent set for my needs. Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Nice hard plastic case keeps everything together nicely. It even comes with a rules book. Have been playing theses shoes couple hours a day everyday since they arrived. They show normal wear and tear from regular use with no hairline cracks or other major issues. The paint on the shoes are very durable and cleans up real nice for storage. The weight feels pretty well balanced and they work fine for both flip and turn pitchers. I live near the ocean and as long as I keep them dry and wipe them down after use the rust is minimal only in areas were the paint has worn or chipped from heavy use. Perfect for family get togethers or tournament play without the price Tag.
